The 67-year-old actress will receive the honorary 2017 Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards in January, an award given to stars for their “outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment,” the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has announced.

“It’s no surprise that the HFPA has chosen Meryl Streep as the recipient of the 2017 Cecil B. DeMille Award,” Lorenzo Soria, president of the HFPA, said.

“Meryl’s enthralling body of work across a diverse set of genres has made her a role model over the past 40 years, and she will continue to do so for generations to come. She has always taken roles with strong female leads, creating art by showing vulnerability and portraying truth on the big screen.”
